Help identifying
#3

Thanks for the welcome, Gary. There exists only one photo of the unit in the Richard Neutra-designed home. The photo (the close-ups are screenshots, zoomed in) is from the Julius Shulman archive at the Getty. Shulman is arguably history's most renown architectural photographer of the period. We have no way of gaining further info on the console outside the one historical photograph, unfortunately.

Do you see the PHILCO logo on the tonearm? Does the metal faceplate to the console look familiar to you or anyone? Would this be accurately described as a "Hi-Fi," albeit early, or is it too early for that?

Appreciatively - David
